Crystallized in time? Hmm, a portrait takes patience and close observation. Portraits show who we were, what we looked like at a certain time in our lives. We are immortalized into past reflections and a one-in-a-lifetime event. Purple_scorp's image of Michael Jordon talks to me of the time when he was the king of basketball and in top form. But many others have competed for this title and as they age, their past achievements will always be admired and remembered.
People who hold on tightly to that which is no longer viable, can suffer all kinds of different ailments. These are caused by holding on to thoughts, feelings, experiences, or people that need to be emotionally released.
The body part for this symbol is the duodenum.

Indigestion is the results of what we’ve taken in by our minds which worries or upsets us. The stomach reacts to these anxieties by trying to throw them off…..this is when we suffer stomach problems or other abdominal ailments. Our stomachs prepare foods to enter the intestinal tract where vital nutrients are absorbed through the body and what’s left is discarded as waste.
I don’t see this as a time to take decisive action. It’s a time to reconsider events and circumstances that have accumulated and become stored in our subconscious and emotional center. This is more an internal exploration of our thoughts and perceptions. A time to settle into our intuitive creative side, where our logical mind requires these senses to help support our physical foundation. It’s a time to acknowledge, let go of our fears and inhibitions and eventually move on.
Also, when we are determined to have things our way, our bodies constrict and become congested. We are unable to throw off waste products from the body. Our bodily process slows down and so too does our energy and vitality.
Virgo, I think, encourages us to dedicate ourselves to something that will better the world around us and this begins with ourselves.
